  The SAP error message RSDHA104 "Invalid name '&1'" typically occurs in the context of SAP BW (Business Warehouse) when there is an issue with the naming convention of objects such as InfoObjects, InfoProviders, or other related entities. The error indicates that the name provided does not conform to the expected format or contains invalid characters.
  Causes:
  
  Invalid Characters: The name may contain special characters or spaces that are not allowed.
